Red Leaf Developments, Inc.

From the initial design meeting with Paul, to the final click of the gate latch closing on a SPECTACULAR backyard renovation, we have been beyond impressed. Paul listened carefully to our needs and ideas, and designed a brand new patio on a hill we thought, for 25 years, was completely useless. We would never have seen the possibilities he created - and we honestly can’t believe it’s ours. In the evening, we wander out, glass of wine in hand, to our beautifully lit patio and feel exactly like we’re on vacation in the French countryside. Project managers Tracy, Nick, and Katrina; artisans Polo and Emilio, and every single set of hands that scraped, dug, filled, built, and lit our project were simply stellar. I can’t recommend Red Leaf enough, and feel so lucky we found them. Ten stars out of five!

I’ve hired Red Leaf for two design and development projects. Could not be happier with the outcome. Have referred them to several friends and they’ve all been incredibly happy as well.

We had a great experience with Red Leaf Developments! Paul and his team took did a an excellent job of listening to our needs and providing their own suggestions on how to improve our design with high quality materials while still achieving our budget! We were especially impressed with the high quality workmanship and the frequent and consistent communication during the project...highly customer focused!

We hired Red Leaf for a landscape upgrade & expansion at our current residence. The crew showed up on time each day. Any questions re: the work, were answered or explained clearly. Would recommend them for any "scope" of landscaping project or pool construction.

Red Leaf Development was a pleasure to work with. Paul and the crew know what they are doing. We had some basic plans. Paul took our Chevy and made our landscape a Cadillac.

We have been very lucky to have Paul, the owner of Red Leaf Developments, and his crew landscape our backyard and later on our front property. Not only is Paul an incredibly talented landscape designer, but his high expectations transfer to his entire crew! Paul is always involved in every step of the design as well as the construction, which is why he has such an great reputation. He is very professional, yet down to earth, and he expects the same out of his crew. As French natives, it was important to us to capture a bit of "home", which is what Paul rendered. The project included stone walls, DG paths, fireplaces, stone benches, stone shed, water features, steps (DG/wood in back and cement in front), lighting, and many, many plants and trees. There was an existing vineyard and Paul worked everything around it. Next time, he will redo the pool area. Lastly, one of the reasons Paul is so good at what he does is because he actually listens to his clients, something a lot of designers (interior and exterior) are not willing to do!

We had estimates/plans from other pool contractors that did not really fit what we wanted. So we asked a architect friend for a recommendation and he suggested we call Paul Straus at Red Leaf Development. Paul came up with a design that was totally unique and exactly what we wanted. And he incorporated glass tiles with natural river rock in fountains and a pool that is perfect for us as well as our grandchildren. The pool really highlights our backyard and the entire project was coordinated so that the yard and pool were integrated (the other pool contractors did not offer this). We highly recommend Paul and his staff, if you want a person that is creative, knowledgeable, hardworking, and dependable.

They redid my entier backyard with an amazing firepit as the focal point. They finished on time which I very much appreciated and there was always great communication with Paul (owner) during the process. Any issues I have ever had, they've fixed within a few days no questions asked. 5 star rating from my family!
